Hi Carl !
I love minstrel so much, i'm clawhammer style player but i am beginner in minstrel stroke style, i like the deep sound of minstrel banjos, i'm thinking to make me a Boucher copy. Two years ago i've met the Swedish African banjos specialist Ulf Jagvor, at Banjoree in Hagen Germany where i given classic bjo workshop...fortunately Ulf given me the passion for Minstrel style.
